Re: More Greek Wallpaper

The possibilities are pretty much limitless but it would be a good thing to conserve the CPU and keep the number and size of images included in the initrd to a minimum. Take a look at some examples from last year [1-3]. Moving images around like in [1] is trivial, while things like the solar flares in [2] and [3] are a lot harder so I won't be able to create too many mockups of these.

FLOSS Multimedia Support in Fedora
Hi, sorry for cross-posting but I wanted all interested parties to not miss this email ;-) There has been some media related discussion in the -devel list and one of the points I have taken form it is that we should promote FLOSS multimedia and don't blame others for doing it (even if it's done in a not ideal way)... Now, the problem is that the actual support of these in our system is crappy. Out of the combinations of two FLOSS containers (matroska and ogg) and two FLOSS video codecs (dirac and theora) I know only one (ogg + theora) actually works in xine-lib (used by KDE4) which is pathetic. So I created a wiki page (not sure what name space to use, so I put it under my user page for starters) [1] which tracks the situation. I don't have much time lately due to university duties, so I put there only things I know of and didn't researched further. So if you know of any FLOSS container, video or audio codec, feel free to add it there. Also feel free to reference upstream bugs about the mentioned issues. The videos used for reference testing are available at my fedora people page [2].

Re: Fedora Bangladesh Logo
On Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 9:07 PM, Nicu Buculei nicu_fed...@nicubunu.rowrote: Ups, my bad, I should have not let such a large attachment in, my bad... Angel, when you send such a logo for preview, you can safely use a smaller resolution, not a huge image. You can also send a vector version. Other than that, no much to talk about it, it is just the the Fedora logo with the word bangladesh below it... I think I would try to use another shade of blue, one of the two blues used in the logo, maybe make the width of the bangladesh word the same as the width of the bubble and increase the thickness of the font by adding a stroke in the same blue color as the text body. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ Hi, I apologies for sending such a large attachment.

Now, the problem is that the actual support of these in our system is crappy. I don't think that is the correct take-away. Everything works in gstreamer. The correct conclusion is that support for free formats in media infrastructure primarily designed, built, and maintained for non-free formats currently stinks for the free stuff. It's another indicator that Fedora should discontinue shipping these non-free media focused infrastructures rather than continuing to patch the non-free stuff out. Of course, support for the free formats should be fixed in that, but that really shouldn't be a Fedora issue. [snip] Also feel free to reference upstream bugs about the mentioned issues. The videos used for reference testing are available at my fedora people page [2]. It's probably important to have a more complete test. Right now you're using what is probably the simplest possible test: Just a regular file with video in it. That case is important, but it is also important to test more complicated cases, such as tests including audio, subtitles, oddball muxing, and chaining. It's no good if a player works for your simple case but crashes as soon as someone gives it a subtitled input. It would also be good to try all mixtures of (FLAC|Speex|Vorbis) * (Theora|Dirac) * (w/ | w/o subtitles) * (OGG|Mkv) which is 24 combinations by itself. (although I don't know how worthwhile the Mkv testing is— as far as I can tell it's mostly unseen outside of the movie piracy / anime fansub sites; and at those its usually used with H264) For Ogg it's also important to test seeking, because some applications have historically gotten it wrong. Seeking with Ogg should be done with Newton–Raphson (ideally) or bisection. There have been broken applications (ffmpeg in the past; for example) which seek in Ogg with a linear scan starting at the file beginning, which is quite intolerable for any reasonably large file. Unfortunately this test needs a large (~hundreds of MBytes) test file, so it's hard to distribute a test. Some of the proprietary-codecs focused tools provide their own home grown implementations of the codecs (i.e. ffmpeg). These often do not implement the full spec, so its important to test their behaviour. Here are some resources for doing that: Some good tests for Ogg/Theora: http://v2v.cc/~j/theora_testsuite/ There are test vectors for Vorbis here: http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/test-vectors/vorbis/ ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
